Care Tears 1% Gel Drop 15 ml

Care Tears 1% Gel Drop belongs to the group of ophthalmic medications primarily used to treat dry eyes. Dry eye(s) is a condition in which the eye fails to make enough tears to coat it, which exposes the cornea and conjunctiva (outer coverings of the eye) to evaporation and subsequent damage.

Care Tears 1% Gel Drop contains Carboxymethylcellulose, an eye lubricant known as artificial tears. It works similarly to natural tears and provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to the eye's dryness by maintaining proper lubrication of the eyes and acting as a protectant against further irritation.

The most common side effects of Care Tears 1% Gel Drop are irritation, pain, and blurred vision. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. 

Care Tears 1% Gel Drop is for ophthalmic use only.
